Do you even see the irony of writing that in this thread?

Bullshit and bullshit. If someone was building you a house and it was on pace to be completed this December, but suddenly it started looking more like next July, would you say that the speed of construction accelerated or slowed down? If someone plopped a mobile home right in the middle of Yosemite, how valid would their complaints be about someone else doing the same thing in Yellowstone? Blues, Dave If someone is accelerating a vehicle towards you but ease off on the gas to reduce the rate of acceleration, the are still going faster. You seem to have a probelm with the concept of acceleration and going faster in this scenario. Iran's capacity to enrich ore is increasing, their rate of enrichment is accelerating. The rate at which it is accelerating is reduced. Iran's rate of fuel enrichment is speeding up. I don't know how to make that any clearer.

These vocal puritanical types seem to be caught in compromising positions with enough regularity to make one suspect that it's an indicator for deviance. The guy's a stinking hypocrite of the lowest kind. If he wants to get caught in a hooker's little black book that's his business but he should STFU when it comes to pronouncements on sin & family values. Given his track record on the aforementioned issues he should be disqualified from public office on the grounds that he's just too much of a skunk even amongst skunks. There's something uniquely vile about someone who does this and then mentions God, sin & family and the forgiveness he's already received in an ass covering apology after being caught red handed. Shame on Louisiana if the reelect the douche.

You can plead guilty to a ham sandwich. Something doesn't add up, in the tale he and a colleague were charged but there's no mention of his actions in the story. Also the youths were not charged with assault, if they had assaulted him as claimed they would have been. Who knows what spin we're getting on this. Reading between the lines, it sounds like they ran and two shopkeepers cornered one and gave him a kicking. Even someone making excuses for the shopkeeper admits he lost it. It's one thing to act in self defense and recover stolen goods or make a citizens arrest. Its another to kick the shit out of someone as they lie on the ground. "Initially he was acting in self defence. Frustration at the situation took over." I know Americans like to see 'perps' get the shit kicked out of them on TV before being hauled off for a good buggering at the local pen, but in the UK the rule of thumb is that the judges determine the sentence, thank you very much. The sentence for first time offender kids stealing spray paint is not yet "A good kicking by two bigger guys in size 10s".

Now if I'm accelerating in my car and I ease up on the gas pedal to reduce the rate of acceleration am I slowing down or still going faster & faster? They're still comissioning new cascades (the centrifuge systems cascade in series to produce successivey richer isotope ratios), but this guy ElBaradei says they've noticed a slowdown in the rate that they bring even more enrichment capacity online. Make no mistake they are bringing more online in line with their defiant proclamations. So he's looking at the second order derivative of a worsening disaster and announcing that the situation is getting better, and the idiotic headline is "Iran has slowed down its nuclear work", No Iran has not, it is absolutely undisputed that Iran continues to accelerate it's nuclear work. Just like the right explaining the US deficit, isn't it. Deficit spending is not exclusively the province of the right but if you think I wouldn't throw the lot of them in a cold dark cell for spending my grandkids into endentured service you are mistaken. If only you could find a social welfare program you didn't like. Now if you have some signal to offer instead of your usual party political noise post again.

Bullshit and bullshit.

Exactly, that child choking bozo gets to drive in a cruiser with "America's Finest" emblazoned on the side, and I bet the fucktard believes it too. You really shouldn't be standing shoulder to shoulder with muppets who choke out teenage girls for skateboarding, that's some pretty bad company to keep and I'm proud to take the side of the skateboarding kids, that way I can look at myself in the mirror with a clear conscience.

You are right he is a scumbag, unfortunately he still has a badge. If anyone else had done that they'd be in jail on all sorts of charges. It is unbelievable that some folks are willing to accept and excuse because someone is wearing a badge. When you run around justifying any misconduct and saying that "we don't know what went before the video" despite the plain evidence before us every time a cop is out of control you just invite more contempt for better officers in uniform. Go ahead name call, but there are better ways to police and you really don't need amped up jackbooted thugs on a testosterone rush choking out kids like that. There was nothing that merited that use of force but it seems almost endemic in some police forces. People who think "my kids are better" or these were bad kids committing misdimeanors are naive, they were skateboarding and that has an appropriate punnishment. They'll throw the book at these kids for this just to cover that cop's ass, when they were damned right to be afraid of him for what he was doing. They skateboarded on a sidewalk, he used excessive force and assaulted minors. Which is worse in your book? A badge does not justify this.

People who insisted the Earth was not 'round' and had no Antopodes were objectively wrong even in the face of rather sound & compelling evidence. Objectively Newtonian physics is also wrong but is still useful, just as flat earth approximations are very common and useful in engineering analysis. You can make use of an approximation and understand it's limitations, without being wrong, or you can stick with a dogma in the face of compelling evidence and be wrong. You can accept the convenience & elegance of a physical model without the conceit that it is the ultimate descriptive theory.

A great example of why the FBI should not interfere with the NTSB doing its job. It's tough enough without turf wars and waiting for every assinine theory to be checked proven fallacious. If there's been a missile or a bomb they'd have found evidence. Do the crash investigation, follow the evidence and give the NTSB the time to do the work and the authority to draw the conclusion & close the case WITHOUT interference.

I've already pointed out the flaw in your misleading wheat is an explosive analogy, but AGAIN you're putting words into my mouth that I very deliberately didn't say. Understand? I DID NOT WRITE what you claim I wrote. Why are you still evading the elephant in the living room? Do you think your pedantic silly comments on the use of the word explosion and explode will be forgotten if you talk in circles long enough? Do you or do you not agree with the Federation of American Scientists' use of the word explosion? How do you extinguish an APCP fire?

You give the distinct impression that you have no idea what that means. This might help you accept reality on this: http://www.livescience.com/health/070702_bad_memories.html

I thought you objected to that use of the word because of the materials involved. Did it in fact deflagrate? The LH2 and LOX began separate and unmixed, for the deflagration to occur on a large scale the containment had to be badly compromised before the reagents were even able to mix, and the main fuel tank shroud which had already been breached would have been a wet paper bag to that kind of energy. Look this centers around your objection to the use of the word explosion as distinct from the techncal definition of an explosive. Everyone including scientists use the term explosion in ways you've insisted they shouldn't, right before you used it yourself. Moreover I've given the example of an FAE which is not an explosive by your definition and the explosion it yields should not be called an explosion according to you. As I said I'll defer to the Federation of American Scienists on the applicability "explosion" to describe these events.

AT&T wireless (formerly Cingular) only and it's a long term exclusive; 5 years before anyone has a chance of getting it on their network. This phone would be a bit of a dud if it wasn't for Wi-Fi saving it from their GSM bandwidth limitations. It's a beautiful phone on an old network. I really dislike AT&T for their overage charges and long distance / out of area setups are antiquated and insane, I once got a 1 month bill for > $800 where a guy standing next to me with another AT&T phone making the same calls would have been in plan $25-$50 because of his home address (they brought that down but I had to sign another long-term). I have a Sprint fair & flexible now and wouldn't go back to AT&T.

You need to compare apples with apples. There is no need to add an oxidant to AP, it's made ready to rock & roll, you do need to add it to fuel. Is a fuel air mix an explosive? The Federation of American Scientists seem to use the term rather readily: http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/dumb/fae.htm Matches are explosives according to you, then. They contain their own oxidant and burn fast (just as fast as APCP). And while a FAE can be set off with a detonator, APCP cannot. Now you're putting words into my mouth which I very deliberately did not say. Matches never registered at 3.5 on the richter scale in a huge explosion, but I still would not advise stockpiling match heads. And of course it's not merely about confinement as an FAE clearly shows, a fuel air mix does not meet your definition of an explosive but it sure makes a big bang when it deflagrates. That massive APCP explosion was not about confinement, the stuff was stored in the open in many separte rather flimsy containers. I'll simply defer to the authority of the Federation of American Scientists and their apparently casual use of the word explosion. How does one extinguish an APCP fire?

Better tell this guy: Oh wait, that was you.

It wasn't a PA quit feeling sorry for yourself. Ah the old patronize the opposition ploy. The last bastian of a running leftie. I never offered a false dichotomy, that came from you. Your post reissues the same propaganda for the radicals under the guise of intellectualism, despite the information just presented that it gives succor to the murderers. It didn't take you long to filter that right out, and now we know why.

It's the testimony of a former enemy who explicitly says that he and his fellow terrorists cheered every time a useful idiot in the British media and elsewhere asserted that foreign policy was the root cause of radicalism, saying it did their propaganda for them. That's not just opinion mate, and the portions that are opinion carry a lot more weight than a room full of lefties. Now why would you try to alter what the guy wrote in plain black & white available for all to read? Do the facts he attests to make you so uncomfortale about your own record that you must claim that it is all just opinion when it is not?

They USA didn't install a government, the Iraqis voted for it for the first fair election in their history. The USA didn't even impose a SYSTEM of government beyond asking them to draft a constitution that included self determination. Your misrepresentations betray your bias. This is not about avoiding responsibility it's about dispelling this bullshit blame game nonsense you're peddling. The use of guns money and warships does NOT make the USA responsible for the actions of all. Contrary to the mythological Native American mantra, if you save someones life you are NOT forever responsible for their actions, same if you fight with them, fight against them, give them aid, cure their disease, free them from oppression etc. etc. etc. If you feel guilty then go wallow in your guilt, don't impose your phoney politically motivated morality on others. Contrary to the propaganda, if the USA wasn't such a boy scout and was really the bad guy it's accused of being there'd be a lot fewer problems in the middle east.

The notion that America is responsible for every unforeseen outcome regardless because it was there once and acted in any capacity is untenable. That America is acting in some arena in some capacity does not make it responsible for the immediate outcome never mind the long term outcome and actions of the local population. Hindsight is 20/20 and if any action in the region were to be changed it'd be Carter acting like a Boy Scout in the most noble traditions of a delusional liberal with his head in the clouds. If there was ever a lesson in the lesser of two evils or the perils of inaction in Geopolitics that is it. Did it earn him any thanks? No he got an unprecedented hostage crisis and prolonged humiliation for his troubles.

It was a rhetorical question, (P.S. and the casing is most definitely not a tamper since the fuel is dispersed outside the casing prior to the explosion) The MOAB is not an FAE, it uses H6, an RDX, TNT, Aluminum mix.

What's the tamper in an FAE?

Yep, the same boosters caused the accident. Tell me professor, how do you extinguish an APCP fire?
